When the products of one chemical process becomes the reactants of the next chemical equation, this process is called.

the hardy-weinberg equation is as follows:

where is homozygous dominant, 2pq is heterozygous, and is recessive.

we also know that:

so since we know that homozygous dominant is 0.53, we can solve for p:

so then we can solve for q:

so then we can solve for the heterozygous term:

so now we know that the percentage of the population that should be heterozygous is 39.6%.
